Former President Donald Trump said he will no longer participate in the debate he previously agreed to hosted by ABC, when President Joe Biden was the presumptive Democratic nominee. Instead, he has said that he will participate in a debate with Kamala Harris hosted by Fox News on September 4th. It is unclear whether Vice President Kamala Harris has accepted the invitation from Fox News.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said late Friday that he had agreed to debate his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, on Fox News on September 4. It was not immediately clear if Harris had agreed to the debate.https://t.co/4BjNeT4nWc

Donald Trump's Rules for Kamala Harris Debate Spark Mockery: 'Terrified'
www.newsweek.com
... Donald Trump has been mocked after he announced that he has accepted a Fox News debate with Vice President Kamala Harris.
A number of Trump critics have accused the former president of being "terrified" to debate Harris in a neutral setting, and will only face off against the 2024 Democratic candidate under rules determined by the conservative news network and in front of a crowd of his supporters.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he has agreed to take part in a September 4 debate, moderated by Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, held in the key swing state of Pennsylvania.
Trump said the rules of the September 4 debate will be similar to the ones at the June 27 CNN debate between him and President Joe Biden, which featured muted microphones, but this time will feature a "full arena audience." ...

I took responsibility': Emhoff addresses affair during first marriage after tabloid report
www.politico.com
... Vice President Kamala Harris knew about the affair before her marriage to Doug Emhoff in 2014.
Vice President Kamala Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff, acknowledged on Saturday that he had an affair during his first marriage, a period he said he's taken "responsibility" for.
"During my first marriage, Kerstin and I went through some tough times on account of my actions. I took responsibility, and in the years since, we worked through things as a family and have come out stronger on the other side," he said in a statement, obtained by POLITICO.
The second gentleman's response, first reported by CNN, came after the Daily Mail reported that Emhoff had a relationship with one of his young daughter's teachers at the time, which ultimately led to the end of his first marriage in 2009. Emhoff did not comment on the details of the Daily Mail report, some of which were not independently confirmed by POLITICO.
Harris knew about the affair prior to their marriage in 2014, according to a person familiar, granted anonymity to speak openly about the sensitive subject. It was also known to those who conducted vetting of the vice president contenders during President Joe Biden's campaign in 2020.
Emhoff's two children with his first wife, Kerstin Emhoff, are now adults, and she has spoken fondly about Harris as a stepmother in recent years. She has recently defended the vice president and their close relationship, as footage of GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance resurfaced showing him criticizing Harris for not having biological children.
She also issued a statement after the Daily Mail report on Saturday, but said they ended their marriage for "a variety of reasons, many years ago." ...

Trump never had a scheduled debate with Harris. With the switcheroo from Biden to Harris the slate is clean and the two parties will negotiate terms for a debate.

Do you think Harris will run on the great job she and Joe have done with the economy and the border?
Keep seeing a talking point from Trump supporters that Trump agreed to "debate Biden" on ABC. That's not accurate: Trump agreed to debate terms that invite any and all candidates who meet a polling and ballot access threshold. The terms did not specify Biden."
